Preserving the Home Visit

Four Thought

Available for over a year

Dr Mark Williams believes we need to preserve the traditional GP home visit. Alongside new acute visiting services and an emerging role for artificial intelligence, he thinks the traditional home visit still plays a vital part in the delivery of good healthcare and can even be a lifeline back into society. "The truth is that home visits give us the best insights into our patients' real life". Recorded in front of a live audience at the World of Music, Arts and Dance festival in Wiltshire. Presenter: Mark Coles Producer: Sheila Cook
